The basic problem is that our civilization, which is a civilization of machines, can teach man everything except how to be a man.

In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.

To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.

The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.

There's no such thing as a grown up person.

The thrill of creation which we experience which we experience when we see a masterpiece is not unlike the feeling of the artist who created it; such a work is a fragment of the world which he has annexed and which belongs to him alone.

If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
